F31 Reversing Camera Field of View

Quick question to those that have a reversing camera and a towbar on their F31.

Does the field of view allow you to see the towball when reversing up to a trailer ?

Thanks.

You can activate rear camera zoom in BimmerCode or similar for this

I didn't know that.

I have BimmerCode, so will take a look when I do the install, but do you know whether camera zoom is automatic or is manually selectable (and how) ?

BTW, this would be an aftermarket camera connected to a self-contained infotainment screen MMI upgrade. My current Carplay/AA MMI box can be truculent and I'll probably replace it with a touch-sensitive Linux OS screen for (hopefully) a more reliable solution. I don't need/want a full-blown Android screen which has its own SIM card etc.

Thanks.

Its switchable through idrive when reverse is selected.

Im not too sure, but I can't see why it wouldn't work with your set up. Its coded within Headunit.
